Chapter 1157

This time, the tens of thousands of people in the Great Food Army are really panicked like lost dogs. All the way from the battlefield of Talas to Samarkand, the troops now gathered around Abmus/Lin and Ziyad have long been less than 30,000 men, but fortunately there is this Samarkand city. Thinking of the fortification of the city of Samarkand, Ziyad's heart suddenly calmed down.

At least, with this city, the two of them can get a rare respite.

"Report!"

Ziad had just taken two steps, and had not yet walked out of the entire military hall, when suddenly a hurried voice sounded in his ears.

The hearts of the two of them tightened, and when they suddenly looked back, they saw a big food herald soldier panting, pale, and nervous and uneasy to break in from outside.

The second gate of Samarkand has been breached, and the Sassanids have led more than 20,000 Tang people into the city. ”

As soon as the herald entered the military hall, he immediately knelt down, sweating like rain, as if he had collapsed.

"What?!"

Hearing this, Abmus/Lin and Ziyad were shaken like ghosts.

"How is it possible, scouts? Why haven't we even received any news beforehand about such a big thing!

Ziad's eyes were wide open, and he couldn't believe it. With an army of tens of thousands of people, such a big target, it is impossible not to see it unless they are blind, but they did not even have news of "the approach of the enemy army" beforehand.

"My lord, the scout force has already spread the news, but before they could get close to the military hall, they were assassinated by the Sassanid masters lurking in the city. Now the Sassanid spies in the city are setting fires, assassinating people, and revolting, and the city of Samarkand is in chaos. My lord, let's get out of here!"

The herald said to the end, with an anxious face.

The last sentence of the herald, although it was only a few words, fell on the ears of Abmus/Lin and Ziyad like a thunderbolt, and their hearts were shocked, and their faces turned a lot paler. The sentence "My lord, let's evacuate quickly" was even greater than the impact of Wang Chong and the Sassanids joining forces to attack the city.

The army was defeated, and after Abmus/Lin and Ziad recovered their strength, they could still fight to the death, but the morale of the army was gone, and even if Abmus/Lin and Ziad recovered their strength, they would not be able to return to the sky.

- At the moment when Qu Dibo died in battle tens of thousands of people ago, the blow to the army was unparalleled, and the current army no longer dared to fight against the Tang army.

“！”

These thoughts flew through his mind, and Abmus/Lin looked up to the sky, looking at the dome above them, and couldn't help but let out a long sigh. This time, they really don't have any hope of turning the tables around.

"Pass my order, the whole army retreats, and this Samarkand city will be left to the Tang people!"

Abmus/Lin's voice revealed a lot of unwillingness, but it had come to this point, and he was powerless to go back.

Ziad stood aside, his expression equally complicated, his eyes uncertain.

"The last general obeys!"

Finally, Ziad stepped out of the military hall.

In a matter of moments, the banner waved, and all the Great Eclipse armies in the city retreated from Samarkand like a whirlwind and galloped towards Khorasan farther away.

......

"What? Did Abmuth/Lin and Ziad escape so quickly?"

In the city of Samarkand, Wang Chong got the news and couldn't help sneering:

"I thought there would be a big fight, but now it seems that there is no need at all. Xu Keyi, write two letters in my name, one is an order to Feng Changqing, who was left behind in Anxi, in the rear, asking him to send an army to Samarkand to take over the city defense, and the other letter to the imperial court, the war is over, and the follow-up work needs to be carried over by the imperial court. ”

Talas has been destroyed, and the best bridgehead for the Tang Dynasty against the Great Food has become Samarkand. Once this military town is captured, even a small number of soldiers and horses will be able to compete with the Great Cannibals.

"Lord Wang Chong, from Samarkand to the west, almost a flat river, there is not much city defense to rely on, Abmus/Lin does not have enough fortified cities to hold, and will definitely flee to Khorasan, this is our best opportunity to attack, encircle and suppress the Great Food, and expand the results of the war!"

A voice came from the side, and Bahram said in a deep voice.

"Well, as your Excellency suggests, let's set off with all our troops and continue the pursuit!"

Wang Chong nodded. With the Sassanids as guides and internal responses, Wang Chong and the others were like fish in water in the process of pursuit, and they did not encounter too much pressure at all.

A moment later, with the sound of a terrifying war drum, leaving thousands of men to join the Khorasan garrison in Samarkand, the two armies continued to chase after Abmus/Lim.

Along the way, with the great victory of Talas, the news of Qudibo's death came out, from Khorasan in the east to Samarkand in the west, the entire eastern land of the Great Eclipse was shaken, and countless people who had been conquered by the Great Eclipse were cheering.

And with Bahram's prestige and coordination from it, like a snowball, more and more rebel armies joined the army of the Tang Dynasty.

When he set out from Samarkand, Wang Chong's army plus the Sassanids totaled 30,000 or 40,000 men, but along the way, 100,000 soldiers and horses were soon gathered, and the number of this army was increasing at an alarming rate. In the end, Wang Chong had gathered thirty or forty different forces around him, more than 200,000 soldiers and horses, and the momentum was extremely immense.

Abmus/Lin originally had the strength to fight with Wang Chong, but later, when Wang Chong gathered more than 200,000 soldiers and horses, he had no chance at all.

The Great Cannibals used to be rampant and brutal, and they were slaughtered on a large scale, and in the entire eastern region of the Great Eclipse, the people's resentment was already boiling. When the Great Cannibal Soldiers were strong and strong, and the overall situation was suppressed, nothing happened, but once a new challenger appeared, especially the Great Eclipse was defeated in Talas, all the dissatisfaction and resentment were immediately eliminated, and this also constituted the greatest help for Wang Chong's westward expedition.

While Wang Chong was chasing after the defeated army of Abmus/Lin, in other places, with the news of the victory of the Talas Tang Dynasty, all the empires and civilizations in the entire continent also shook, and the pattern was also quietly changing.

......

"Whoa!"

A carrier pigeon flew from distant Samarkand through thousands of mountains and rivers into the distant Anxi Protectorate. With the news of Talas' victory, the entire Western Regions, countless empires and forces that were watching this great war were stunned and stunned.

"100,000 versus 500,000, such a big difference in strength, Datang actually won, incredible!"

Far away, in the palace of the Houguo of Beilu, a burly figure with a long beard stood up suddenly, and the big eyes of the copper bells showed extreme shock.

The war between Da Shi and Da Tang swept through the countries of the Western Regions like a storm, and countless countries swayed from side to side like grass on the wall, entangled in surrendering to Da Tang or Da Shi. All the kingdoms are speculating on who will be the final victor, and the kingdom of the Lower Continent is clearly inclined to the Great Eclipse.

In any case, an elite army of 500,000 people, with such powerful figures as Qu Dibo, Abmus/Lin, and Osman at the top, should not fail no matter how you look at it. But the facts gave a vicious slap in the face to the whole kingdom of the Belul Queen, including the king and his courtiers.

"Pass my order, prepare 10,000 taels of gold, 10 treasures, 100 beauties, 10,000 cattle and sheep, and immediately send them to the Anxi Protectorate overnight to celebrate the victory of the Tang Dynasty. ”

The lord of the kingdom sat down on the main hall and roared like a lion. A small guard who ordered was kicked off the hall by him because his footsteps were too slow.

And unlike the Houguo of Beilu, at this moment, the big and small Bolu are happy and excited at this time.

"Hahaha, I knew it would be like this, Datang really won!"

The two lords of the kingdom, both large and small, all gathered together at this time to celebrate this great good news.

This time, at a high price, the big and small Bolu lent a total of 8,000 of the most elite spearmen, although these spearmen all died in this battle, but the Tang Dynasty won, and the big and small Bolu got a huge return on investment. With this victory alone, the big and small Bolu made the Tang Dynasty owe themselves a huge favor, and in the future in the Western Regions, the big and small Bolu had their backs against the big trees to enjoy the shade, and they no longer had to worry about the oppression and invasion of Wu Sizang.

As for the 8,000 spearmen who died in battle, although it was really heart-wrenching to lose so much, the big and small Bolu had mastered the training methods of the spearmen, and it was only a matter of time before another batch of spearmen were trained.

And in this great victory, it is far more than the big and small Bolu who are reveling, in addition to those kingdoms that support the Tang Dynasty, there are also countless mercenary tribes that participate in the battle.

"Haha, win, Datang has won, and the leader has also won! This time the big cannibal has kicked the iron plate!"

In the entire Western Regions, from south to north, from east to west, all the tribes who were hired by the Tang Dynasty to participate in the Battle of Talas cheered one by one.

Victory or defeat is a common thing in soldiers, and almost all the mercenary soldiers who participated in the battle of Talas this time are dead, but for the tribal herdsmen who stayed behind in the rear, these are not the key at all. All they cared about was whether the valiant warriors of those tribes were on the side of the victors when they died in battle.

Although many soldiers were killed in the war, it also means that a large number of pensions will come in after the war, and these money, coupled with the affirmation and support of the Tang Dynasty, is an opportunity for the tribe to develop and grow in the future.

For the sake of the tribe, all people can be sacrificed, and dying in battle is the best destination for a warrior.

This is a principle that all tribal herders believe in.

"Damn!

When the various Western Regions tribes participating in the Battle of Talas were excited, dozens of miles away from the Anxi Protectorate, a one-eyed Western Regions tribal leader suddenly ripped off his blindfold and threw it to the ground.
